Less than $16,000 for an airline pilot??? That's £9,500!! I earned more than that when I was 18, 9 years ago.
Are we sure this is correct? If so, its criminal. Am I right in presuming that that is a basic wage, and that airline pilots clock up mammoth amounts of overtime which drastically improves this?
Less than £10K a year to be responsible for thousands of lives is ridiculous. That airline needs closing down.
